I´m not an expert but as far as I know the colour space you use depends on what you intend to do (printing your work, only uploading it to the web, etc) The different colour space have more or less colours. I know AdobeRGB 1998 is wider than sRGB. There are 2 important things: Always use the wider colour space as long as the output can handle it. For example (and I´ll give a wrong example because I don´t know this very well): If you take a picture and work it in adobeRGB and then you print it in a printer that can´t handle that colour space, you´ll be facing some problems.
But I´m sure that any one can give you more detailed and useful information than this

Use AdobeRGB 1998 on camera and export as sRGB from PS if your target is the web.
If you shoot RAW, IIRC, it really doesn't matter.

It matters if you shoot RAW as well, as you won't be exporting the RAW files until they're processed as JPEG/TIFF etc. The processing takes place within a colour space setting.

The raw image data itself doesn't change with the colour space setting. Most of the raw processing is done in the “camera colour space”, and then the image is converted to whichever colour space is chosen by the raw processor. This choice may default to whatever is recorded in the metadata as having been selected on the camera, but many applications simply ignore that. In any case, the same choice of colour space will still need to be done with raw, the difference is that the choice is delayed until the time of conversion to JPEG/TIFF/whatever.

Adobe RGB 1998 is the choice for prints; you want the widest color gamut possible when you're target is paper. Few (if any) printers will actually reproduce the entire Adobe 1998 gamut, but it's best to give the printer all the information you can.
sRGB for the web. Most browsers don't display the Adobe 1998 colorspace properly. If you have a browser that does, remember that most of the people who look at your photos will not. Use sRGB for the rest of the world.
BTW, if you are using a commercial printing service that requires files to be in the sRGB colorspace, you may not be getting the best prints possible. IMHO.
